Abstract: A mounting for the front unit of a motor vehicle has a container integrated in the mounting for holding an operating fluid. The container is arranged in an installation position of the mounting in the motor vehicle at the height of an impact region of a leg or hip of a pedestrian. A front surface of the mounting is formed by a front side of the container. The container acts as an energy absorption body in the case of an impact with a pedestrian on the front of the vehicle. A method for producing the mounting producing the container or one or more container parts and integrating the container or one or more container parts into the mounting. The mounting can be used as a component of a motor vehicle front. The mounting can be part of a device for protecting pedestrians in the case of an impact with a pedestrian on the front of a motor vehicle.
